Stories of young Australians joining IS have been front page news for months, but who is convincing them to leave? Sarah Dingle uncovered three previously unreported cases of young Somali-Australian Muslims lured by sweet talkers to join the war in Syria.
This article represents part of a largerinvestigation. Listen to Sarah Dingle's full report on Sunday at 8.05 am or use the podcast links above after broadcast.
At a house in Perth, volunteer Muslim youth leaders are debriefing.
Theyve just held a youth forum under strict rulesno media and no old peopleso that attendees could speak freely.
Youth leader Aisha Novakovich says the main concern raised was IS.
This is really, really close to home and this is not a story that you see on the media, she says. This is lived reality for these boys.
Last month, a 23-year-old student was reported as the first West Australian recruit for ISbut Novakovich believes there have been at least two earlier cases.
I was facilitating one group of young boys in their late teens: 17, 18, 19. One of them was honest enough to talk about his blood cousin, who was female, [who] unbeknown to the family, went over to Syria recently in December and joined IS.
You hear this clarity ringing through their voices, says Novakovich. They say, We need to stand up against these people. He actually said, This is not my cousin. I said, What do you mean? How do you know that?
He goes, Because shes my cousin, I know her, she wouldnt do things like this. They were talking about another case. A friend that they went to school with, that they grew up with, and they played soccer with him and recently he also went over.
The federal government says more than 140 Australians have joined the fighting in Syria and around 20 have been killed.
To stop other Australians from joining IS, the government has pledged $18 million to combat online propaganda.
That money will go towards real-time monitoring of posts and the removal of extremist contenta mammoth and potentially futile task.
Theres been a lot of credence given to the Sheikh Google or Sheikh YouTube form of online radicalisation, but some experts are deeply sceptical.
In over 130 cases Ive seen in Germany, only one would I consider as mostly or online-radicalised, and even then I would question if that means they dont have any social interactions, says Daniel Koehler, the founder and director of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-radicalization Studies.
In my experience there always have to be other human beings involved in the radicalisation process, online or offline.
For her part, Aisha Novakovich says the youth at her forum are being approached in their daily life by what they call IS sweet talkers.
These are the kind of young people who will go to the football and soccer matches, and try to create a rapport with these young people, and create a warm, inviting environment, she says.
They'll say, "Come on, let's go fishing, let's go camping and then the next conversation is, "Hey we're planning projects against the government. We're planning to not vote. We're planning to do this and that."
Both of the recent IS recruits were from Perths Somali Muslim community. Across Australia, Muslims are divided along sectarian and ethnic lines.
According to Novakovich, mosques are failing parts of the Muslim community.
The masjid or the mosque is meant to be the centre of the community, [but they] have now become anti-youth, anti-women, sometimes anti-particular cultures.
Aishas colleague, Abdullahi Alim, is also a Somali Muslim, and says Somali Muslims are discriminated against, even by other Muslims.
There's this perception in the community that Somali Muslims, for whatever reason, represent the lowest common denominator. Most of the kids that we've spoken about that have moved over to Syria and Iraq, a lot of them happen to be Somali.
The community isn't really nurturing them as much as they would, for example, an Arab Muslim.
Sydneys Somali Muslim community is tinyaround 500 peoplebut Background Briefing can reveal that in less than a year three of its members have joined IS.
One was a young man in his early twenties, whose case has never been reported before.
That young man has already been killed, according to the President of Sydneys Somali Community Association, Abdullahi Farah: I think he died Boxing Day or December I think. The father was made aware that his sons died and he was devastated.
The father had been given news by telephone I think at midnight. Someone called and said, your son died in an air raid or something like that.
The other two Sydney recruits were young women aged 18 and 21. The families of all three recruits were too distressed to speak to Background Briefing.
Their families had no warningthe 21 year old went to work the day before she left for Syria.
She was working in a childcare place near her home in Lakemba, says Farah. She went to work the day before and next day she was supposed to go in to work, I think the family thought she had gone to work, but she never came back.
According to Farah, the mother of the 21-year-old is now worried by signs that her younger daughter, whos 16, also wants to join IS.
There was indication that she was aware the sister was going and she did not tell the family and she maybe have the same view as the other sister, so the family was a bit concerned and they are still concerned, he says. I know at one stage they confiscated her passport and they were watching her.
Background Briefing can reveal that the Sydney Somali community pooled its resources and helped the mother of the 21-year-old to go to Turkey to try and get her daughter back. She was unsuccessful.
She went to Turkey and unfortunately she came back without her, says Farah. She had no luck. Shes spoken to the girl and the girl said shes happy where she is, shes not coming back.
Farah says the father of the 18-year-old girl also travelled to the Middle East to get his daughter back but that so far he has not returned.
Attorney General George Brandis declined to comment.

To celebrate , this week on Off Track we listen to a story which first aired last year about a large stone labyrinth built in public space in Sydney.
The story of this labyrinth began with a passing comment in a transit lounge in Albuquerque New Mexico, says Emily Simpson.
A friend who was on her way to meet Simpson in San Francisco sat next to a woman called Mary Ellen Johnson.
Johnson said, well, if you are going to San Francisco you have to walk the labyrinth in the Grace Cathedral.
Simpson did.
It was the first time she had walked a labyrinth.
I had had a lot of grief, and tangled grief that was yet to be resolved and something happened. I just walked this labyrinth and I started feeling better so I walked it again and again and then I came back the next day and walked it for several hours, and I felt the grief lifting off me.
I fell in love with the labyrinth and for some reason, for me, walking mediation just does it for me, its beautiful it gets me into that peaceful place really easily.
And so I found out everything I could. I was like a starving woman, devouring every book I could find.
So I came back to Australia went looking for one, and couldnt find one anywhere in Sydney.
This is how a two years of fundraising started for Emily Simpson, who raised 500 thousand dollars towards the construction of a magnificent sandstone labyrinth in Centennial Parklands in Sydney.Fri, 01 May 2015 09:31:00 +1000\xmlcontent\201505\4224409.xml702 ABC SydneysydneyArts and Entertainment:Design:AllCommunity and Society:Religion and Beliefs:AllAustralia:NSW:Centennial Park 2021-33.8833 151.2333Republican Jane Caro reveres the first Queen Elizabethhttp://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2015/04/28/4225022.htm?source=rss

The story of this labyrinth began with a passing comment in a transit lounge in Albuquerque New Mexico, says Emily Simpson.
A friend who was on her way to meet Simpson in San Francisco sat next to a woman called Mary Ellen Johnson.
Johnson said, well, if you are going to San Francisco you have to walk the labyrinth in the Grace Cathedral.
Simpson did.
It was the first time she had walked a labyrinth.
I had had a lot of grief, and tangled grief that was yet to be resolved and something happened. I just walked this labyrinth and I started feeling better so I walked it again and again and then I came back the next day and walked it for several hours, and I felt the grief lifting off me.
I fell in love with the labyrinth and for some reason, for me, walking mediation just does it for me, its beautiful it gets me into that peaceful place really easily.
And so I found out everything I could. I was like a starving woman, devouring every book I could find.
So I came back to Australia went looking for one, and couldnt find one anywhere in Sydney.
This is how a two years of fundraising started for Emily Simpson, who raised 500 thousand dollars towards the construction of a magnificent sandstone labyrinth in Centennial Parklands in Sydney.Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:33:00 +1100\xmlcontent\201410\4115421.xml702 ABC SydneysydneyCommunity and Society:Religion and Beliefs:Ancient ReligionsCommunity and Society:Religion and Beliefs:Meditation and PrayerCommunity and Society:Religion and Beliefs:Religious LeadersAustralia:NSW:Centennial Park 2021-33.8833 151.2333Unveiling the burqahttp://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2014/09/29/4096537.htm?source=rss

A man who was sexually abused by a youth pastor as a child says Australian Christian Churches was more concerned with protecting its reputation than protecting him, an inquiry heard. The royal commissioninto child sexual abuse has completed hearings into the way Pentecostal churches managed abuse complaints in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.

The beauty of In between sounds is that its a direct window into immigrant families, a culture clash which makes up a healthy percentage of the Australian population. The production is more than a tell-all, its a history lesson of this country of ours.
